Humor Me

I'd like to share some cartoons I've found amusing lately.

This first one suits me to a T.

This one I just find amusing.

The last one needs a bit of background for most of you.  For many years now, the state of NM has issued driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.  That means the state is not compliant with the federal "Real ID" act.  For years, the state has received exemptions, pending the repeal of the law that allows the licenses to be issued.  For years, the bill has been introduced to the state legislature and failed (in many years, not even making it out of committee).  As of next month, NM driver's licenses will not be allowed as photo identification to access any federal facility.  Now the employees of the state's many national labs, Air Force bases, or other federal facilities are scrambling to get passports before the deadline.  As of a yet-to-be determined date, NM driver's licenses will not be allowed as photo identification to pass through any airport security checkpoint.  Imagine the even madder crush of people applying for passports then!

Long before I moved to NM, the state has battled with ignorant fellow Americans who don't realize that NM is one of the 50 states.  (I've been sorely tempted to tell people, "Yeah, it's that big hole in the map, in between Texas and Arizona!" but haven't done so yet.  I guess I'm too nice.)  In this twist on "truth is stranger than fiction", U.S. citizens will not need passports to visit NM, but NM citizens will need passports to fly out of the state!
